botox
Botox is an injectable material consisting of botulinum toxin, which is used in small doses.
Its first clinical application took place during the 70’s in the field of ophthalmology and in particular for the treatment of blepharospasm and strabismus. The original BTX-A was produced in 1989 accompanied by its first approval by the FDA in Usa for the treatment of cervical dystonia. In April 2002, the material was accepted and approved for the application and treatment of wrinkles in the forehead and the frown lines between the eyebrows. At the same time it was approved in France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Australia, Japan and others.

Botox is injected directly into the muscle and acts exactly where the nerve stimulation reverts to a muscle movement. In this way, there is no muscle motion for the duration of the treatment and as such wrinkles do not appear during the normal muscle functionality.

How long does it last?
